Pacquiao: I have not yet dismissed Roach

Manny Pacquiao through his adviser Michael Koncz, said that he has not yet made a final decision on who will be his head coach in preparation for the July 14 fight against Lucas Matthysse. Pacquiao said that all the news about that he had already parted ways with his longtime mentor Freddie Roach, do not correspond to reality.

"Contrary to statements which I personally did not make that are circulating in the media, I have not made my final decision who will be my head trainer for my July 14 fight with Matthysse. My advisor Mike Koncz has been in contact with Freddie’s people to keep them informed. I will make a final decision within the week. When that decision is made, Freddie will be the first one to be informed and then I will advise the media," sites Pacquiao famous boxing journalist Kevin Iole.
